"Disable High DPI Support" Option
Just what the title says. With the newest Steam update that was rolled out yesterday, High DPI support was added to the Steam client so that people can scale text size on Steam up to a legible level. The problem is, it didn't come shipped with a disable option, so for some people (including me) their average sized monitors with high resolution output scale the text up so much that it looks like we're looking at a 1366x768 monitor. If you can't imagine what that looks like, go into a word document, type something that would be perfectly legible without High DPI support, and then zoom in on it with a camera. It's hideous.

P.S. I know about the text anti-aliasing option in the Steam settings but I turn it off for fear of client lag. Also I have tried turning off High DPI Support through Windows settings, but Windows 10 doesn't let you do that anymore.



EDIT: The update is now live! We can disable high DPI in the interface settings now!!!

Same thing. My msg from other topic:

My windows scaling setting is set to 125% (resolution is 1920x1080), but for steam i have used "disable display scaling on high dpi settings" option in compatibility section. After the last update that option no longer does anything and steam looks blurry and uncomfortably "zoomed". The only way to make it look nice again is to set my overall windows scaling to 100%, but i obviously won't make my windows usage miserable just for steam...
Is there any way to disable steam scaling now?
Same here! And I hate seeing it this way!
